I start my day really early and work from home. My first cup of coffee is typically instant, and I can make this very quietly without waking up my family. I make a french press or pour over as my second cup once the kids are awake. I would buy the best instant coffee I can.
- jrfarina 10y agoHow would a French press wake up your kids?
- brndn 10y agoI'm guessing an electric grinder for the beans.
- davidddavidson 10y agoI'm guessing it's the grinding the beans. Electric grinders are LOUD.
- mst3c 10y agoI grind my beans by hand :)
- tripzilch 10y agoNot all of them are. At least my old one was way louder than my current. Same price range, too ($20-$30 I think, both were presents). I think I could use this one in my kitchen without waking up anyone. There's a good possibility that the old one was also noisier just because it was getting old and perhaps rattled a bit. Both are blade grinders, maybe burr grinders are louder by nature. I think if I really wanted it more quiet I could even wrap it in a towel or pillow :-p
- FungalRaincloud 10y agoGrinding his own beans? My electric burr grinder is pretty damn loud. My hand grinder is better, but a lot more work.
- freese 10y agoWe hear this a lot. Same goes for me - I wake up before my wife and she's really happy when I'm drinking Sudden at home instead of grinding and brewing.
